Kingsley Napley Criminal Litigation Partner Alun Milford has co-edited the fifth edition of ‘Serious Fraud, Investigation & Trial’ - a LexisNexis Butterworths guide for practitioners dealing with cases of serious fraud dealt with in the criminal courts.
The book, which was co-edited with Paul Jarvis of 6KBW College Hill, and written with a team of specialist contributors from Kingsley Napley and 6 KBW College Hill, is now available to purchase here and includes updates covering the Criminal Finances Act 2017 and Crime (Overseas Production Orders) Act 2019; as well as Guidance such as the Attorney General's Revised Guidelines on Disclosure 2022 and CPS Disclosure Manual 2022. In addition, it reviews important recent cases since the last edition, including:
- Aquila Advisory Ltd v Faichney & Others - re the limits of the confiscation regime;
- R v Luckhurst - concerning the inter-relationship between criminal and civil regimes;
- R v Andrewes - concerning proportionality in the confiscation regime;
- R (KBR) v DSFO - re limits on the SFO's ability to compel the production of documents.
Alun Milford comments:
Last year, the House of Commons’ Justice Committee reported that we are currently enduring “an epidemic of fraud”. Fraud accounts for over 40% of all crime in England and Wales, but currently attracts only 2% of police resources here. Public confidence in the criminal justice system will be lost if this is allowed to go on, and there are signs that the government is acting on that realisation: the recent inclusion of fraud in the Strategic Policing Requirement was important in that regard.
Our book is intended as a trusty and reliable practical guide for practitioners dealing with cases of criminal fraud. It has been a pleasure to work with Paul and the wider team on it.”
